“Eboni was great with updates and photos the whole time she had our sweet girl! Her home was inviting and she made sure our dog got plenty of outside time as well as lots of love. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a safe and comfy place for your dog!”
“Steve is wonderful! He boarded and cared for our little Havanese while we were on vacation. Steve is welcoming, responsive, and has a genuinely kind heart for dogs. Yuki was loved, calm, and happy when we picked her up. We would highly recommend Steve and will definitely be a repeat client!”
“Marlee loves Brandi and her family. I really appreciated her and her family for watching my baby while I was out of town. She and her family were super nice and responsive to all calls and text. Thanks Brandi, we will definitely be back!”
“My little old lady was so happy she didn't go to the door ready to leave when I got there! Brooke took the beat care of her❤️ I got lots of pictures. This was a last minute booking and Brooke responded quickly! She will be my go from this point!”
“Deangelo came over for a meet and great with my baby and they hit it off immediately. He has a large fenced yard which allowed my sweet angel to run and play. Deangelo was very patient and kind.”
“Ashley was awesome. We have a 6 month old Sheepadoodle puppy and he’s a handful. She was able to adapt to his behavior and handle him with patience. She also kept our 6 year old Golden Doodle. She has pitbulls but they are super sweet and so if you’re concerned, don’t be. They are the sweetest dogs you’ll meet. They welcomed our dogs as a part of the pack and got along very well. She sent us a detailed report with pictures every morning. Our dogs were very comfortable and happy at her home. We have boarded them before and they came back with a different behavior like peeing in the crate. We did not have that issue. We could tell she continued our training and used our detailed instructions and tips. We plan to use her again. She is #1 on our list of boarders. We’ve tried many but she is by far the best!”
“Simone and her beautiful family were wonderful sitters! My puppy Gena had not been away from home before, so an overnight trip was a new experience for both of us. Simone sent lots of photos and videos - it was wonderful to see my baby playing and happy! We had a wonderful experience with Simone, and we’ll be booking again. Thank you for everything!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life, and long before I had human babies, my dogs were my “kids.” Dogs have always been an important part of our family, and over the years we’ve had as many as three dogs at a time. Now that my kids are teenagers, our whole family still loves having pets around and understands just how much they mean to the people who love them. What sets me apart is the experience that comes from a lifetime of caring for dogs at all stages of life. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs, and I want your pup to feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re with us. We have a nice fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore, and our neighborhood has sidewalks and trails that are great for walks. We also love taking our dogs along for car rides when we can, so your pup can enjoy plenty of attention and time as part of the family. When your dog stays with us, they won’t just be “a dog we’re watching”—they’ll be treated like one of our own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in a loving, comfortable home with a family that truly understands how special they are. My husband and I work remote from home and have ample time to give proper attention to the pets in our care. We can fit in lots of outdoor time, we have a large doggy door with a shaded patio and grassy, fenced lawn. Expect at least two walks a day and lots of cuddles. We have a fenced-in yard and a large doggy door, so our pet guests can come and go outside whenever they’d like. We want every dog who stays with us to feel comfortable and at home, while also making sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. We enjoy spending time outside with them and keeping them active and engaged. We currently have a 10-year-old short-haired German Pointer who has always been friendly and gotten along well with other dogs. We understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so we’re happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule and accommodate their individual needs. We also have a crate on wheels available if your dog is accustomed to sleeping or relaxing in a crate and prefers that option while staying with us. Our goal is to create a safe, relaxed, and loving environment where your dog can feel right at home.
About: I am a graduate student majoring in human and animal behavior. My main goal is to help as many animals as possible whether that be training them, babysitting, or simply being a friend to them so that they can always feel special and loved. I am currently working from home so I have a flexible schedule and am able to care for your pet any time of the day. I have plenty of energy to play with your pet when they are feeling bored but they can also hang out in the crate for a little while if they need some alone time.
“Tyeshia is one of the most caring people I have ever come across. She’s patient and kind and went out of her way to take care of my pup River. You should really talk to her and that’s all it takes you will feel rest assured your fur babies are well taken care of. Tyeshia thank you again.”
“Courtney took great care of our pup, Biscuit for a long weekend. We never worried about him while out of town. Courtney sent photos and videos of him playing. We were at ease that he was well taken care of by Courtney in her home. We are on Courtney’s schedule for another stay soon!”
“Liliana was able to accommodate our last minute request for our booking. She was also very friendly with an awesome smile that greeted me and my pup upon arrival. Liliana was accommodating to my last minute schedule change. She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. We will definitely use her services again!”
“Charles did an amazing job taking care of Kenji. From daily updates and photos to ensuring Kenji had walks and playtime. Kenji got along well with Knox, who is a Dalmatian as well. Kenji was happy when I returned, and it was a huge relief to know he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Charles for anyone needing a dependable and caring dog sitter!”
“Awesome experience with Alexcis! Having a working breed can be daunting when trusting someone to watch your dog, but the experience was awesome. Alexcis was very thorough with the meet and greet, the rules, and introducing the dogs in her home. Freyja had an amazing time (documented with tons of pictures). I will absolutely be reaching back out the next time I need to board Freyja.”

“Sarah was great with our cat who has anxiety and had never stayed overnight at a sitter's home. She even allowed me to extend our cat's stay for a little longer due to unforeseen circumstances. She was very sweet and we appreciate her looking after our fur baby!”
“Weronika did so well with my two anxious boys. She went above and beyond to cater to my stubborn boys routine. She soothed my dogs during the storms as well. She was responsive and very polite. This is the first time my boys came back not stressed out !”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Matthews can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Matthews home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Matthews.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Matthews. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Matthews sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in GA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
